A thousand enlightenments in one night, starting from being a menial apprentice.

Chapter 270 Second Round

It was already dark, and blazing torches were lit around the Zeying Terrace...

Some of the onlookers could no longer bear it and dispersed. But there were still many people standing there with empty stomachs. Among them was Xu Dongyang, the temple keeper of the City God Temple. He had moved from the periphery to the front row. The flames of the torches reflected his focused face...

In the midst of the flames, as a figure fell from the plum blossom pile, the twelfth fight finally came to a winner.

A tall young man who was still standing on the plum blossom pile wiped the sweat from his forehead, grinned, and jumped down.

Qin Shuban's voice sounded almost at the same time.

"Round 1, Match 12, Yue Feng wins!"

After Qin Shuban finished his announcement, he quickly walked to the desk of the clerk who recorded the scores of the competition not far from the Selecting Yingtai. He took the document he had recorded, glanced at it, and then took the document to the viewing seat.

Qin Shuban held the document in his hand and bowed, saying, "Your Excellency! Your Excellency! The first of the three rounds of chaotic points battle has ended. The points are as follows. Please review them!"

Shen Yanliu turned his head and glanced at Li Xianjiang.

Li Xianjiang is not a warrior. He sat down that day and did not eat anything at noon. He was already tired and sleepy, with a tired face, and seemed to be unable to hold on any longer.

Shen Yanliu said: "No need to look. That's all for today, let's go."

Secretary Qin then walked to the selection platform and announced the end of the first day of the selection meeting!

The crowd of onlookers dispersed in the hazy night...

As for the seeded contestants in front of the selection stage, except for a few who looked indifferent, most of them had serious expressions.

There is no draw in the fights at the Zeying Conference. No matter how long it takes, there will be a winner. Therefore, there were quite a few boring matches that made people fall asleep. Otherwise, the twelve fights would not have been dragged on until dark.

Twenty-four people, twelve fights. A fifty-fifty win.

The loser certainly feels heavy-hearted.

Even if you win, you can't be happy when you think about tomorrow's showdown.

Today's duel was a random selection of 24 people. Tomorrow it will not be the same. Tomorrow they will be divided into two groups, one winning and one losing, and they will fight each other.

Victory versus victory, loss versus loss, which means that the winner today will encounter a stronger opponent tomorrow.

Thinking of this, those who are slightly weaker in the winning group can't help but become worried!
In the viewing area, Shen Yanliu looked at Li Xianjiang, Fan Yuanhai and the others and said, "Lord Li, all the imperial envoys! We have been working hard all day. My wife has prepared wine and food in the backyard of the county office. Let's go there now."

Li Xianjiang said with a smile: "Master Shen, you are so lucky! You married a good wife who is good at both housework and cooking!"

Li Xianjiang was already starving, and the two of them left the viewing seats while chatting and laughing.

But Fan Yuanhai and others stood in the viewing seats without moving.

Shen Yanliu and Li Xianjiang took two steps, turned around and looked at the few people who had not moved.

When Fan Yuanhai saw Shen Yanliu turn around, he smiled and said, "Sir Shen, we are drunk, so we won't bother you any more."

Shen Yanliu's eyes swept across Zhu Qunxiang beside Fan Yuanhai and said, "Then please do as you please!"

After Shen Yanliu finished speaking, she left with Li Xianjiang.

Fan Yuanhai touched his nose and was about to speak. He wanted to invite these fellow disciples to have dinner at Babao Tower.

But before he could open his mouth, Lu Qingzhu and A'mo had already left their seats and left.

Fan Yuanhai was a little embarrassed, but he still suggested to Zhu Qunxiang and the others that they go to Babao Tower for a drink, and they naturally nodded in agreement.

Duan Rong, together with Xiao Zongting, Xiao Yu and Zhu Xiaoqi, walked along West Street towards Yuanshun Escort Agency.

On West Street, the lights are just coming on, and in the dim night, the lights are as bright as sparks.

Zhu Xiaoqi looked at the lights all over the street and said with a smile, "Master, both Han Xiaozi and Miss Yu won today. How about we go to a restaurant to celebrate?"

Zhu Xiaoqi's bright eyes were filled with lights, and her gaze swept across Duan Rong's profile from time to time.

Xiao Zongting said coldly: "It's only the first day and you want to celebrate? The next two days will be fierce battles! Go back and have a good rest!"

When Zhu Xiaoqi heard Xiao Zongting say this, he stuck out his tongue.

Xiao Yu turned her head and looked at Zhu Xiaoqi, smiling: "Xiaoqi, have you been standing there all day? You must be tired and don't want to cook..."

Zhu Xiaoqi said: "No way... isn't cooking easy? Everything is ready-made and it doesn't take much effort..."

Several people were walking and chatting.

Duan Rong and Xiao Yu exchanged their impressions of some of their opponents after the first round.

Duan Rong has already reached the great perfection realm, and the only ones who can be his rivals are Ximen Kankan and Tao Rong.

Although Xiao Yu has not yet achieved the great success realm, her strength should not be underestimated. Among the contestants this time, the only one who can compete with her in boxing is only a handful.

Because, although Xiao Yu has not yet achieved the great success realm, there is only a thin layer of window paper left, and there is a possibility of a breakthrough at any time.

As they were chatting, they had already walked to the door of Yuanshun Escort Agency. Xiao Zongting asked Duan Rong to go to his place for dinner, and Duan Rong naturally went there happily.

Duan Rong and Xiao Yu exchanged some views again, and Xiao Zongting also expressed some of his own opinions. Not long after, Zhu Xiaoqi had quickly prepared dinner.

After they had dinner, Duan Rong said goodbye.

Duan Rong left Xiao Zongting's courtyard and was originally planning to go back to Liulu, but when he saw that it was too early and he had nothing to do, he turned around and went to the street.

In the two months after the New Year, he has been practicing hard behind closed doors and has not been on the streets for a long time.

Duan Rong walked slowly, looking at the streets where lights were just coming on, when suddenly a familiar and tempting smell entered his nostrils.

Duan Rong smiled and looked over, only to see that quite a few people were already sitting in front of the beef soup stall where he used to eat amidst the steam.

Although Duan Rong had already had dinner, his appetite was aroused again. He walked to the beef stall, ordered a bowl of beef soup, and sat down in a corner.

As Duan Rong drank the beef soup, his spiritual awareness suddenly spread outward.

Since he had nothing to do, he wanted to hear the public opinion on the street after the first round of competition in the Elite Selection Meeting.

He originally thought that people would discuss Tao Rong, Ximen Kankan, and even more so himself. After all, he came from a poor family and was not like Tao Rong and Ximen Kankan, who were from aristocratic families.

But after listening to it, Duan Rong was very surprised.

Although there were discussions about him, the most discussed topics on the street were about Xia Shuangshuang, Xiao Yu, and Shen Mizhi, and about their appearance.

Many people were discussing the beauty ranking of the three. Shen Mizhi seemed to be undisputedly ranked third, but as for Xia Shuangshuang and Xiao Yu, who ranked first, everyone had their own opinions.

In particular, an old scholar in the restaurant across the street stroked his goatee, shook his head and said, "Xia Shuangshuang is thin but not revealing her bones, and Xiao Yu is fat but not revealing her flesh. They are both the best!"

Duan Rong almost spit out the beef soup in his mouth.

At this moment, Duan Rong suddenly frowned and lowered his head deeply.

Because, when he scanned with his spiritual sense, he saw Lu Qingzhu and A Mo walking towards the beef soup stall from across the street.

Duan Rong did not want to have any dealings with this envoy of the sect. He had already demonstrated the strength of the great perfection realm. As long as the competition was normal, it should not be a problem to be selected as a registered disciple. There was no need to create unnecessary trouble at this time.

Ah Mo looked at the beef soup stall, which was almost full of people, and said with shining eyes: "Miss, this must be delicious."

"Well, it should be good." Lu Qingzhu also nodded.

The two ordered two large bowls of beef soup and five sesame cakes.

In fact, Lu Qingzhu couldn't even finish one pancake, but five pancakes were just enough for A-Mo.

The two found an empty seat and sat down. The boss brought over beef soup and sesame cakes.

A Mo looked at the steaming beef soup and immediately smelled the aroma.

At this moment, a thin boy of about twelve or thirteen suddenly walked to the table of Amo and the others, and reached out to grab a small jar of chili oil on the table.

"and many more!"

Ah Mo also loves eating chili peppers very much. When she saw the boy was about to take the chili oil, she reached out and grabbed the boy's wrist.

Although Ah Mo was born with supernatural powers, after years of practicing the Thirteen-Forged Vajra Skill, her control over her strength has also become exquisite and delicate.

She grabbed the boy's wrist with very little force. She just wanted to tell the boy that there was no chili oil in her bowl yet.
But the moment she grabbed the boy, the thin boy suddenly twitched and the small jar of chili oil in his hand fell off. Ah Mo was naturally quick-eyed and quick-handed, and grabbed the small jar.

But the thin boy had already fallen to the ground, his eyes rolled back, foam coming out of his mouth, his limbs and body twitching constantly...

"This……"

Lu Qingzhu and Ah Mo had never seen such a scene before, and they were stunned...

At this time, a middle-aged woman with gray hair ran over, threw herself beside the young man, and shouted, "Xiao Kang, what's wrong with you?"

When the woman saw the child twitching violently, she didn't care about anything else and stuffed her fingers into the child's mouth.

The child clenched his teeth as he twitched, and the woman's fingers immediately began to bleed. The blood was mixed with white foam, as if the twitching child was spitting blood foam from his mouth...

When Lu Qingzhu saw this scene, a hint of fear emerged in his clear eyes...

The woman turned around and glared at Ah Mo in a crying voice, cursing, "My little Kang came to you to get some chili oil! If you don't want to give it to him, then don't give it to him. Why did you hurt him like this? If anything happens to Xiao Kang, I will fight you to the death!"

Lu Qingzhu and A'mo grew up in the mountains and had hardly ever experienced the hardships of life, so they were suddenly a little panicked.

But Amo was very sure that he did not grab the child with force.

"I... I didn't..." A Mo wanted to explain, but he didn't know where to start, and his face turned red with anxiety.

Just then, a figure jumped over.

Duan Rong squatted beside the child, his fingertips flickering with a delicate breath. He quickly tapped multiple acupuncture points on the child's body with his fingers, and his hand shadows flashed.

Before the woman could react, Duan Rong had already finished ordering!

The woman was about to curse when she suddenly felt the child's clenched teeth loosen, the twitching of his body stopped, and his breathing gradually became smoother.

Duan Rong took out a pill, gave it to the woman, and said, "Give this medicine to the child."

When the woman saw that Duan Rong tapped the child for a while and the child seemed to have returned from the gates of hell, she didn't believe Duan Rong at all and immediately stuffed the pill into the child's mouth.

The young man swallowed the pill, and after a few breaths, he recovered.

The woman helped the young man to stand up and kept thanking Duan Rong.

Duan Rong looked at the boy and asked, "When was the last time this child had an acute illness?"

The woman's face suddenly turned red, and she said, "It hasn't happened for two years."

The woman had just wanted to blame the child's illness on A-Mo and Lu Qingzhu, but Duan Rong pointed out that this symptom was not the first time it had occurred.

Although Duan Rong looked young, he was obviously an excellent doctor. Not only did he simply tap Xiao Kang a few times to make him recover, but he also pointed out in one sentence that Xiao Kang's chronic illness had relapsed.

How could that woman dare to hide it?

"Sir, please save Xiaokang. The doctors say his illness cannot be cured."

Duan Rong said: "I can't cure this disease either."

When the woman saw Duan Rong's cold and hard face, she wiped her tears and sighed.

Duan Rong flipped his hand and stuffed five pills into the woman's hand, saying, "Take one pill when you get sick. How long he can live depends on his luck."

The woman looked at the pill in her hand as if she had found a treasure. She pulled the boy and knelt down together, saying, "Xiao Kang, come on! Kowtow to the benefactor."

Duan Rong accepted the young man's greeting, but held the woman up with his hands and said, "No need to do this!"

Duan Rong could see the hard work and difficulty this mother had gone through from the woman's messy hair and wrinkled face.

Duan Rong sighed. The reason why he couldn't help but take action was because this child and Xiao Baiqiao suffered from the same disease.

In this world, this disease has no name yet.

In the past, it was generally called epilepsy. Even in the past, with highly developed medical background, this disease could not be cured.

Because the pathogenesis of this disease is related to brain nerves.

Duan Rong stood on the street, watching the mother and son leave. Xiao Baiqiao's appearance flashed through his mind again...

"Duan Rong! Thank you!"

Lu Qingzhu's voice sounded behind Duan Rong.

She was a little panicked just now. She was not afraid of snakes or rats, but she had never experienced such a thing.

If something happened to the child, she really didn't know how to end it. Fortunately, Duan Rong helped her out.

Duan Rong turned around, and Lu Qingzhu's clear eyes showed gratitude.

Lu Qingzhu has a pure heart. Since Duan Rong helped her, she should thank him.

Unexpectedly, Duan Rong turned around, clasped his fists and bowed, saying: "I pay my respects to the Imperial Envoy!"

Lu Qingzhu was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Duan Rong to react like this.

Ah Mo smiled, looked at Duan Rong, and said, "Touch it. I'll treat you to beef soup!"

As A-Mo spoke, he pointed to the beef soup stall not far behind him.

Duan Rong said, "I have already eaten. Your Excellency, I have something else to do, so I will say goodbye now!"

After Duan Rong finished speaking, he turned around and left quickly.

Ah Mo watched Duan Rong disappear at the corner of the street in a hurry and murmured, "Miss, is this guy hiding from us?"

Lu Qingzhu's eyes sparkled. "He's not hiding from us. He's hiding from trouble!"

The two returned to the beef soup stall from the street, ate the beef soup and sesame cakes, and then went back to Chunfeng Inn to rest.

The next day, just after daybreak, quite a few people had gathered in front of the Selection Stage at the entrance of the county office.

The seeded contestants who were going to participate in the selection competition were already standing in the audience. Some of them were yawning with tired faces, obviously having suffered from insomnia last night.

The viewing seats were already full of people.

Today's battle is the second of three rounds of chaotic points battle. After Qin Shuban asked Shen Yanliu for instructions, he prepared to start.

The second round is divided into two groups of wins and losses. The first one to be conducted is a random fight between 12 people in the winning group!

Qin Shuban turned the turntable.

"Second round, first match, Jiang Qingyu!"
